That Brenford Goal....

[Bromley shrimp]

Or a snail trying to clear from the line? no

Unless that snail just hapened to have the initials KM.

Again it initially looked to me like there was time to react, but I thought well give Mayo the benefit, maybe it was a bigger ask than it looked, but now, based on what others are saying, I'm starting to wonder if maybe my initial reaction was the correct one.

Great save by Henderson to tip over Brentfords freekick in the second half

It was straight at him!

It was straight at him!

No it wasn't, it was dipping under the bar. He had no chance of saving it, he had to tip it over.

It was an easy save! he was on his line! if that is a great save then I could be a great Keeper I reockon!

I was at the back of the East Stand, so was able to see he needed to reach at full stretch and tip it over. It was dipping in.

He stopped better shots than that in the pre-match.

those are the worst ones to save - it is impossible to judge the swerve and bend on a football in the county league, let alone one in the pro game these days. he did extremely well to push that over, it takes a strong hand, especially with the pace it had on it

but i suppose had kuipers saved it it would of been amazing

Yes Kev, but they were talking about the first goal.

Henderson wasn't at fault for the first, it was a well struck free kick, if anything the problem was not having someone on the post.

Having someone on the post wouldn't have made a difference, as that freekick went in centrally.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Bollocks it did. Hendo started from a central position and it sailed a good foot from his hand.

i am pretty certain had kuipers been in goal, then el abd would be taking the majority of the blame for that goal

No I think Kerry Mayo would still have been blamed, it looked El Abd's error to me but people are generous to him in the way they never were to Harding, what is it with NSC and leftbacks? Rents watch out!

 

[clapham_gull]

Seem to recall Lynch falling on his arse and Adam getting him out of a hole as well.

Anyway - I was standing just behind the goal on the running track and looked like Adams mistake to me.

.. and from there the Henderson "save" - the ball looked to dip at the last second.

Don't think he had a poor game, didn't really have a chance with the goals.
Will people stop complaining he dosn't come of his line. What would you prefer a keeper running into a packed area and missing the ball or leaving it to the centre backs to do there job while the keeper is ready if they don't?

Same old, same old.

Bollocks it did. Hendo started from a central position and it sailed a good foot from his hand.

And a good five foot from the corner of the goal!!

Sat right behind Henderson for the equalizer. Time seemed to stand still as Henderson just stood looking at the bloke arms and legs akimbo, whilst I'm thinking just throw yourself at his feet, move - it seemed like he had plenty long enough to react, salvage the situation, make a name for himself or even get himself injured in the process. Had he switched off thinking the game was won or did the bottle just go, what with his call-up for Ireland next week? It was in my book not becoming of the never-say-die atitude we have come to accept. Could you imagine Charlie bottling a challenge with 2 points at stake in the dying seconds?

First rule of a keeper is to stand up as long as possible. Sounds to me like he did everything correctly. If this geezer had as much time as you insinuate then the defence weren't doing their job - dont blame Hendo.

The defence (Mayo and El Abd) were running to cover the goal line, unsuccessfully as it turned out. They had managed to get there only because the bloke took so much time before getting his shot away. "As as long as possible" does not mean for ever or don't dive at the bloke's feet. It was a time to show extreme courage. That didn't happen, so I will blame Henderson.

PS Were you actually there?

El Abd was running back towards the goal line from 8 yards out where he royally f***ed up missing his header [to be honest I am not sure that he didn't deliberately duck under it, thinking it had enough pace on it to easily reach the keeper]. 90% his fault I'm afraid, with a 10% for Hando for reacting a little slowly to Bomber's mistake.

 

[Curious Orange]

I have to say that the entire defensive unit needs to practice heading, there were extremely few good clearing headers today. Most were straight up in the air.

Its got f*** all to do with Kuipers. All I am saying is it was an easy save. I dont blame Hendo for either goal! OK!
